First Editing of the House scene

The house scene was one which would be on screen during the fast pace of the chorus of our song. Therefore, I knew that the editing had to convey the argument between Alice and Ashleigh as quite aggressive.
Firstly, I looked through all of my clips and chose those which looked as though they would be most successful. 

As shown below, I was able to take my filming and cut it down in order to have only specific clips to put into my movie. This was helpful as it meant that I can take more than one clip from each section. Due to this scene being the argument, it was essential that we had different angles represented in the movie. Some points in the filming went wrong. Being able to use specific parts of the film was essential in creating a successful first draft. 


I was also able to use the 'Cross Fade' function. This allowed me to have successful transitions from one part of the argument to another. It also allowed me to maintain a fast pace through this scene which is crucial in presenting the violence of the argument and the build up to Alice's self destruction at the end.


Stretching the clip out allows me to adjust the specific sections easily. As there are many small sections put into this part of the editing, it is essential that I do not miss out any good parts of the filming or have them lost behind the other video clips. One example of this is me having missed out part of the clip where Ashleigh pushes Alice. I believe this shows her violence effectively so, in the second draft, it will be ensured to be put in.




PROBLEMS
Problems with this editing include that which is shown below. This is a print screen of part of the first edited draft. As you can see, Alice is laughing due to not being composed when arguing with Ashleigh. This has caused problems during filming at points as the two actresses sometimes find it difficult to keep composure. This part of the video will have to re-shot in time for the second draft.
